With under four seconds remaining in an ostensibly meaningless 2014 regular season game, Gordon Hayward flared to the top of the key and received the ball. LeBron James lost his footing and fell to the ground, so Hayward came over a screen to survey the landscape.

There’s no denying that Tatum is uniquely skilled at putting the ball in the basket from 18 feet and in. He has ways of scoring that no other rookie can match. There are forwards who have been in the league for 10 years who should be jealous of his footwork and his ability to create his own look in a pinch.
